Track: Engineering

Session Number: 125

Date: Mon, Jun 3rd, 2019

Time: 10:15 AM - 11:00 AM

Room: Sarasota

Description:

Deploying fiber to the home is not accomplished overnight. For operators overbuilding existing DSL networks, the cutover process and ultimate decommissioning of the copper network can span months to years. Thoughtful planning on the new physical infrastructure and preparations for managing concurrent operational demands are just a couple of the insights that will be shared.

Learning Objective #1: Attendees will learn how to effectively plan for cutting over an existing DSL networks while maintaining existing operations.

Learning Objective #2: Attendees will benefit from the knowledge and experience of panelists who will share their insights on best practices for managing concurrent operational demands as well as considerations for when and how to offer new services to consumers.
